Revolutionizing Precision Measurement for Rubber Parts with CT Scan

The Challenge: Understanding Rubber Part Requirements and Tolerances

Customer X, a precision injection molder, faced significant challenges in understanding the part requirements of a rubber part, tolerances, and the ability to meet these stringent demands set by their end-customer of a rubber part. However we helped them with a CT Scanning of the rubber parts and solved their problem!

The core issues revolved around:

Difficulty in interpreting the part requirements accurately.
Challenges in understanding and meeting the required tolerances.
Inability to measure the part dimensions effectively using traditional methods.

These challenges hindered Customer X’s ability to deliver the quality expected by their end-customer, potentially affecting their reputation and business growth. Precision measurement with CT scan could resolve these issues.

The Solution: Innovative Measurement Solutions with CT Scan of Rubber Parts

To address these challenges, CT Scan implemented a comprehensive approach that broke down the problem into understandable statements, provided multiple possible solutions, and used advanced technology to demonstrate the part’s dimensions accurately. Specifically, the solution involved precision measurement with CT scan:

Breaking Down the Problem:
- Worked closely with Customer X to clarify the part requirements and tolerances.
- The problem was divided into smaller, manageable statements that were easier to understand and address.
Providing Multiple Solutions:
- Proposed several innovative measurement solutions, highlighting the pros and cons of each.
- The team suggested different approaches to measure the part, considering the intricacies of rubber components.
Demonstrating with CT Scan Technology:
- A CT Scan of the part was conducted to showcase its dimensions in a “relaxed” state, providing a more accurate representation.
- This advanced imaging technology allowed Customer X to visualize the part’s actual dimensions, overcoming the limitations of traditional measurement methods. This precision measurement with CT scan was key to their success.
